I couldn’t see them, but I knew they were there. Thousands of spiders had crept into the room. And they were hungry.

The cluster of spiderlings moved as a wave down the wall. The mother stare at me from her hiding spot in the air duct behind the grate. I blast the colony with hairspray and flames from my lighter. I destroy a foot deep into the cluster. More crawl over the crispy bodies towards me. I’m running out of hairspray. I don’t have enough to kill the all and the mother. I can’t let this cluster escape into the wild. I light my research papers on fire and scatter them around my office. The smoke is rising I spray my last blast of fire towards the air vent hoping to kill the mother. #Horroweek
